Barry Thompson Poems
Destiny chose me to fly the sky, since conception in the womb,
While nurtured by my mother’s breast, I had a duty to assume
For I have flown past heaven’s door, to places you’ve not seen,
Constantly lived my boyhood dreams, those places I have been,
...
.
Together we watched the blazing bronze sun, as it tried not to disappear,
for night was impatient to approach, with her starlit chandelier.
...
I dream of a land where I’ve never been,
A land yearning for their own chosen king,
In far-distant Scotland by me yet unseen,
And of the heartbreak wars always bring.
...
Many moonbeams joyfully danced on soft supple skin,
pale mottled images fluttering, from toes petite to chin,
inflamed passion lay latent until the view shown before
eager to relish rewards of her body and to then explore.
...
I dreamed fitfully throughout the darkened hours last night,
of our goodbyes earlier said, but her face never left my sight.
Crystal tears sparkled softly, and slid slowly down her face,
...
Forgotten glimpses surface, bringing words that rhyme,
Twenty summers ignored my garden lay lost in time.
A York-stone path flagged, crossed arrow straight,
Unswerving to an outside world, a world that lay in wait.
...
Barry Thompson Biography
I spent my working life designing and marketing transport equipment and special purpose vehicles. I retired on acreage in Beaudesert in Queensalnd but it was toof ar for my 4 sons and 10 grand children to visit regularly. I bought a motor home and joined the grey nomads but found that to be a lonely and unfullfilling wife as I had been divorced 20 years previous and was still single. I came to Thailand and am enjoying the smiles and different atmosphere where I intend to persue my poetry writing and painting.)
The Best Poem Of Barry Thompson
The Fighter Pilot.
Destiny chose me to fly the sky, since conception in the womb,
While nurtured by my mother’s breast, I had a duty to assume
For I have flown past heaven’s door, to places you’ve not seen,
Constantly lived my boyhood dreams, those places I have been,
I’ve flown the depths of darkness, by the light from stars alone,
I am utterly spellbound by that world, the World I call my own.
I’ve often soared and gaily danced, on a towering thunder head,
Swooped and zoomed and flown, just like an arrow I have sped.
I love flying those boundless skies, where bold eagles soar alone,
That place where a special few, can boast that they have flown.
Up in that peaceful remote world, far from the annoying crowds,
Honing deadly fighting skills, between stars and peaceful clouds.
My destiny has now come of age, and it’s time I forged my mark,
To fight the immoral evil foe, though impending days look stark.
The looming war clouds overhead, made me answer to the call,
To face the vicious wicked ones, with our backs against the wall.
I will fight for our harassed Country, and stem the vicious horde,
For the moment is now upon us, that future history will record.
Unswerving and strong-minded, gilded wings are shining bright,
We charge impatiently into battle, unafraid of the coming fight.
Like twin edged swords we fly, through fire and blinding smoke,
Resolute, committed and relentless, defiant with every stroke.
My agile craft pulls eager and hard, and into battle we commit,
Many countless horses strain as one, on a thundering single bit.
The battle’s now a rampant rage, but I approach serene within,
Raw excitement inundates my mind, and my body limb to limb.
Ignoring thoughts of hasty death, the enemy’s fear we’ll invoke,
Until he drops or scurries for home, dismayed with spirit broke.
But if I’m not here at battle’s end, and I don’t return to home,
I’ll be flying through these azure skies, eternally free to roam.
